She always spoke so eloquently, so beautiful & poise.

I could listen to her talk all day.

she is so unbelievably magnetic.

I can't believe how rude the interviewer was to her, I've heard many interviews they had with marilyn assuming she's dumb just because she was beautiful and had blonde hair she was very intelligent people only saw her for her looks not her talent or intelligence poor marilyn :(

She seemed so down-to-earth. R.I.P 💖

Marilyn seems like a person that existed but never did. I'm not sure, it's just felt like she wasn't real, when she really was.

"blondes and dumb go together." Man this guy is very intelligent.... Color of hair does not correlate with intelligence. She's way more intelligent than he is.

I literally winced when he said possession. They treated her like property. Smh

I really don’t appreciate the way this man speaks to her but she is holding it down. Also. Girl. You were not dumb. Period. You where ahead of your time sis and the world wouldn’t have it.

Actually she is very intelligent in her answers here.....

I love how she stood up for herself. She mentioned how it's odd that people assume you're dumb just because you take care of your appearance. It still rings true to this day.

Whenever I saw Marilyn Monroe. .. She reminds me of Cinderella. The way she talked just same as Cinderella. I guess cinderella characteristics (voice and appearance) inspired by her.

1:40 her sigh on the audio lines up almost perfectly with the footage

Poor Marilyn, never got her wish to retire to Brooklyn 💔

The interviewer wouldn’t get away with that now, a slap comes to mind

She has such a beautiful speaking voice. Like a beautiful whisper.

The reporter was intimidated by her, you could tell.

She sounded so reasonable

Hearing my name in Marilyn Monroe’s voice is the coolest thing! She has the most lovely, soothing voice.

*Her voce is so beautiful and soothing* 😍

"It takes a smart brunette to play a dumb blonde" Marilyn Monroe.

I only know her because of her "name" but gosh, she really existed. What a beautiful woman.

I’ve never been more proud to be a Brooklyn girl.... such a kind and intelligent woman. We lost a gem.

I grew up in Brooklyn.This woman was smart as hell and sensitive.She is still with us as long as we remember her.

His voice dips and starts getting seductive and soft. You can actually hear him falling for her on air.

Awwwwww - so sweet. O Marilyn, honey - so sorry you didn't get to retire in Brooklyn 💜

The way she was cornered into the wall with a microphone shoved into her face doesn't seem like a natural position for a person to be in, but she handled it well.

She has the sweetest laugh...there's intelligence, sincerity, humility, and humanity. How can you not fall in love with her.

So beautiful. Timeless beauty!!!!!!!! Inside and out !!!!!!!! 💋 👑 💋

She had so many plans for the future. Just imaging her as a little old lady walking around Brooklyn breaks my heart.😭

Such a clear recording. She’s a such clever open minded woman, that’s absolutely right what she said about people’s limited mind. I feel so bad that her spouses, men didn’t give her what she truly deserved.

She was waaaaaay ahead of her time..she existed in several planes, at the same time, that's how she found herself to feel more tortured ...she was a beautiful being, inside and out and it truly is difficult to be this perfect! Such an angel..in how she spoke, how she walked, what she looked like and how much kindness her soul had, towards this world! Compassion is the highest form of intelligence, and she had so much of both! Rip beautiful

She's a legend and was so humble and way smarter and talented than they have her credit for.

To all those commenting on how articulate she is, it's all the more amazing given her education level. Her diabolical childhood of being shunted between relatives, foster families and orphanages, left little time for concentration on studying. Her last formal education was at 15, and at 16 she was married off by her last foster family who were moving and didn't want to take her with them.As someone whose education was badly affected by trauma, I can vouch for how difficult it is to take anything in under such circumstances. So almost all of her education was self teaching as an adult, an amazing achievement. A woman who never stopped trying to 'better' herself.👍🏻💓

Celebrities today will never look as glamorous on the red carpet as the stars back in the day.

" I heard you were smart, but I didn't know..." Keep the class coming, dude.🤐😐🤔

Proof in the details: Footage starts with the star getting preped up, adjusting her hair etc, in a "behind the scenes" video format, or a _newsfilm of a newsfilm_ . Then, towards the end of this clip the filming lights go ON and the reporters start officially asking questions for the newspiece they were doing. That is the moment Marilyn stops posing, stops doing her signature pouty lips and sex kitten glance (that had been the pre-interview bit for the still images they were taking of her) and as she answers questions her eyes shift to the most honest, endearing, attentive glow as she CAREFULLY LOOKS AT EVERY SINGLE ONE of the reporters eye to eye to answer their questions. Not for a moment she pauses with a vague glare into the distance , which a lot of other stars like to do then and now. She was paying dully attention to every single one of them and especially, gave first consideration to the one female professional there. THAT's brains and beauty, all rolled in with sensitivity, compassion. She was mesmerizing. And not a smudge or trace of mental illness in her. The world destroyed her. FOREVER MARILYN MONROE. 👑 💛

She wasn't dumb...she had a thirst for knowledge and was a great reader.....I love the fact that she didn't go into great detail as to why she liked Brooklyn..she just liked it..simple....She also put herself down a lot by knowing that looks don't last forever and the fact she doesn't think she is madly educated...Such a sweet person who sadly went too soon. Her beauty was something rare almost luminous...like an angel...

something about her voice is so beautiful and uncommon. It's a rare gentle voice, it would be beautiful to hear her singing a child or someone to sleep.

She was so much different from the jaded influencers and movie and music stars of today...It was refreshing to hear the kindness in her voice. RIP❤

Became such a famous around the World with this very kind attitude - hard to survive......

She’s truly mesmerizing. I just can’t stop looking at her.

Her speaking voice is just as attractive as her looks!

her voice seems so elegant, it's so peaceful

Wise, sensible words from Marilyn. I'm 57 years old and can verify that "Gravity..." really does "...catch up with all of us"! She grew up in California and spent more than half of her life there but I can see why Marilyn would want to retire to another place. The horrible experiences and situations and memories Marilyn must have had in and of California, no family, few if any close enriching friendships, what was there for Marilyn to stay for?

So beautiful ! It's incredible to think a little girl like her became a so great star always under the spotlights. I would have loved that she never died

She was looking ahead to retirement. The poor lady.

The interviewer was annoying as hell. Marilyn was of course a trooper as always.

I could listen to her voice all day it's so beautifully breathtaking.

When I think of femininity, I think of Marilyn Monroe.

Her voice is so 💞

I never heard this interview before. She was out of this world!! This voice is strange... I think it hides so many secrets. I like her very much!! ❤️

So original and sweet our Marilyn Monroe..intelligent and sophisticated...North American ne valued the real Marilyn Monroe ..Hollywood understimated her intelligence her bewuty her value....I love her originality a true Human being

Baddest woman of all time! 😍😍her voice is so soft and humble sounding

We seem to want everything the same, but we know we need unique people in this world. Marilyn was one of them. You can find a million pretty blondes, but there will always be just one Marilyn Monroe.

Ahhh her voice is so relaxing... ASMR vibes haha! Man, I love her so much 💋

I love her voice so much 😍

this 2minutes 41 second audio of MM talking says so much more about herself than the movie Blonde!

I live in Brooklyn. Born & Raised. I always have been a big fan of Marilyn Monroe. Now I love her even more. She is so right on about the neighborhoods in Brooklyn. So many different cultures here. All in one place. Mae West was also born & raised in Brooklyn. Miss West never lost her Brooklyn accent. Love her to. There is a magic about Brooklyn. You can either love it or hate it. I would have loved to bump into Marilyn on a Brooklyn street. Sounds like a good name for a movie!

The discrepancy between her eloquency and maturity and the cretinism and puerility of the man interviewing her makes it hard to listen to.

Shes the most gorgeous person I've ever seen and heard, it's so sad how she left this world so early

I can listen to her voice all day! It's so calming!

She was just so beautiful 😍

Her voice is both sweet and relaxing. Such a sensual creature she was.

Marilyn Monroe💋 is absolutely "Wonderful!"💖💖💖

I can’t believe they really asked her these questions. Why would you ask someone if they feel like their a possession of a country ???? Disrespectful.

She sounded so cute when she said "Streets" at the end.

I LOOOOVE her voice! so gentle and ladylike.

Her voice is so pretty I could fall asleep to it 😍

She was so beautiful, and so wonderful. Just an amazing woman. I hope she's resting peacefully now.

Her voice is so soothing... like actual silk. and her sweet laugh ❤️❤️

this is wonderful, thank you. this poor girl. may she rest in peace x

Her voice is so pretty omg

She curated the persona and legend that is Marilyn Monroe. She was absolute involved in every aspect of her image. What a genial and sweet girl. XX

It’s so weird that Marilyn Monroe is known as like a cheesy icon for being smart but she actually was really intelligent and so graceful. Opposite of what most people know her for

marilyn monroe 😇💝 is a natural beauty. marilyn is smart, witty, very talented, generous 💸💰 hardworking, and sweet lady, actress, dancer, singer, an amazing cook and an icon 😄🌸

She handled that man amazingly!!! God why did he think he could say that

I’m very glad my parents decided to name me after her, she’s an icon. 🥺💖

Guys he wasn’t calling her dumb, he was asking her what she thinks of that concept considering she played the dumb blonde character in ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.’

Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way 😘

Soft gentle voice, so enchanting. Beautiful beyond words 🥰

She's so sharp. She made a personal brand that wasn't really her true self but she did it to be massively successful in her career. Her career milestones made her incredibly happy, but as always in Hollywood you're surrounded by wolves and predators. Imagine how brilliant her personal brand actually is that it still makes her estate money. She would have been able to fund charities eternally at this point. Imagine how successful Brooklyn is today following a tough few decades, but the world caught up to her, and she's recognized for it -finally.

She’s so way ahead of her time. She would have shined brighter in our times! Wow!

She was so outspoken and down to earth!! I love Marilyn forever!!!

She was mesmerizing 😘

Her voice sounds so familiar. It's eerie.

Behind those beautiful smiles, lots of pain are hidden.

As a Brooklynite who wonders the same Brooklyn Heights streets Marilyn loved, I often imagine her here, walking down Pineapple Street, feeling free of people, just beautiful old streets and gorgeous townhouses….

I would give everything to turn back time and have just a few minutes with her, to talk about whatever she wants or do whatever she feels like doing

I bet a lot of women of her time hated her!!! She’s stunning no filters or photoshop

Stunning, absolutely stunning. So sad her life was cut so short.

YES , she will always be the most beautiful woman !!!

Wow ... her voice ...love her

She was smart and beautiful.

I moved to and live in Brooklyn and wow, I have her pictures all over my apartment. Thank you for posting this.

her voice is so calming. i could listen to her for hours

I love her voice

Marilyn Monroe is an intelligent and beautiful woman

She makes me cry. What a unique person. She didn’t deserve her sad ending.

I love you, Marilyn. I understand you.
